The U.S. intelligence community believes terrorist groups operating inside Afghanistan may have the ability to attack the U.S. or other international targets within a year or less if left unchecked, senior defense officials told lawmakers on Tuesday.
“We could see ISIS-K generate that capability in somewhere between six or 12 months,” Colin Kahl, the Defense Department’s undersecretary for policy, said in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee. “And for al-Qaeda, it would take a year or two to reconstitute that capability.”
The remarks underscored widespread concerns that the central goal of the 2001 U.S. invasion—to root out and dismantle terror groups inside Afghanistan—could be undermined if the Taliban allows or is incapable of thwarting militant groups from plotting international attacks inside the country. “We’re actually fairly certain that they have the intention to do so,” Kahl said.

Good thing we left them all that military hardware. /sarc
Sure, just like 9/11 was planned in California, Germany and Florida. That is the nature of terrorism. Ya can’t stop it, but we can build a police state to restrict our citizens.
We just brought 50 thousands Afghani to USA without proper vetting. Trump says 97% of them shouldn’t be here.
They will attack us from within.
Also there will be many individual crimes, rapes and so on. Many families forever traumatized and damaged
Maybe we should cut off their funding!
I know... unrealistic. That might be racist and annoy the terrorists who want to hurt us.
Thanks, Joe!
They're not going to attack us from Humvees and MRAPS.
That means we should be seeing attacks starting next week or so.
Given how badly the call was on the timetable for the Taliban taking over Afghanistan...
I feel sorry for their non-Democrat victims. They don't deserve it.
Let’s go Brandon!
It’s just part of the NWO planning. . .combining Canada, Mexico and the US.
They could launch a massive one TOMORROW thanks to you Pentagon douchebags and your political masters. YOU are the ones that gave them arms enough to make them the 8th best armed military force in the world.
I’d be ecstatic if the focus of their attacks were to be Democrats or the bastions where they congregate. Unfortunately I fear with the complacency of the left it will be those on the right instead.
That was the first thought I had after reading the thread.
Add to that, the number of Muslims crossing the border illegally, plus the number of Muslim terrorist's already here for many years, and you know us Infidels are going to be attacked in this country, from within.- Tom
Let them attack blue states.
What about the legions of terrorists you’ve allowed into the country?
Not one dime if it’s against NYC
If only there were a way to check them. Maybe if we had an airbase and billions of equipment over there.
It's SO disappointing that they didn't get the message "the war is over." I thought Biden made it very clear to them.
